(no pun intended) that he and his wife don't rule out the possibility of one or both of their children transferring to Marshpoint Elementary School. With the advent of Passport to Excellence which was created for families like his who had children in the private schools, I am surprised that they are not already enrolled in Marshpoint. But then unlike others in his league, Simon must have deep pockets to afford private school tuition. Frankly it would be a bonafide indication that board members were truly vested in the public school system if their children attended them as well. The challenge is to keep an eye on Simons, I don't put pass him to put his children in public schools not so much for their educational benefit but as a political gimmick. Candidates know what they are getting into when they sign on to run for these school board seats. I feel no empathy for them. All the public gets is a once a month board meeting.
